NZ Airports Awards 2026

The NZ Airports Awards shine a spotlight on the outstanding achievements, innovation and leadership that define our airport community.

These awards celebrate the big ideas and outstanding talent across Aotearoa’s airports – from world-class infrastructure and sustainability breakthroughs to meaningful community partnerships, commercial innovation, and emerging talent.

We’re proud to recognise the people and projects that are shaping a stronger, more connected, inclusive airport sector for the future.

Whether you’re delivering transformational infrastructure, forging new commercial pathways, elevating community relationships or championing sustainability, this is your moment to be recognised.

Winners will be announced at the NZ Airports Hui Gala Awards Dinner in Wellington on Tuesday 20th October.
